FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2015

Since opening its first south Florida location in 2011, the casual dining, bar, and entertainment venue has become a major player in live music and entertainment, receiving numerous awards for its entertainment excellence. In May 2014 Perera and Genovese opened a second club in Ocala, Florida following a multimillion-dollar build-out that replaced the city’s old Midnight Rodeo complex in downtown Ocala, which had closed in 2011.

“Cowboys is now the number one entertainment spot and ultimate place for friends and families to gather and have fun in a classic western themed bar and restaurant that is modern and sophisticated,” said Genovese.

“We are excited to have been chosen by Cowboys Saloon for their national rollout,” said Starpoint Commercial Founder Joshua Rush. “Starpoint Commercial is a fully integrated real estate consulting and brokerage house focusing on retail and entertainment industries. It’s like having your own in-house real estate department.”

Cowboys Saloon is a fun entertainment driven dining and nightlife experience that combines Americana style eats, large dance floor and ample room for hosting national artists in a rustic western decor setting. The average location ranges from 12,000-15,000 square feet with a seating capacity for over 200 people and a concert capacity of close to or exceeding 1000 people.

“We love where this brand is going,” said Perera. “There is tremendous opportunity for a brand like Cowboys Saloon to gain massive market share and on that basis we plan to open 10-12 units in the next 24 months. More than just a restaurant or bar, we are truly an entertainment destination that engages guests from the moment the walk in and keep them entertained until the moment they leave.”
